OK I just got a Mossberg 500 12 gauge for $100 in decent condition. The 28" standard barrel is too long for my liking. I am ok with cutting it down but what are my options for sights. I have a drill press and taps so I am considering reinstalling the bead sight. Will the clip on HiViz sight stay in place without the front bead in the notch?
I know and read the 18" minimum barrel and how to cut it down so we can skip all of that. I think I will throw synthetic stock on it and maybe a heat shield and call it a day.

thanks
